How do you feel about...

We are currently working towards IVF (in vitro fertilization) and should (hopefully!) have embryos transferred in November/December. If things go how we hope, we should be expecting a baby next August/September. We have been tossing around name ideas since we decided to try to have a child together. A name that I tossed out, sort of as a joke but it does have meaning because of how we met, has really grown on me. My husband digs it too, but we aren’t sure how it would be viewed. What do you all think of the name Burnley for a boy? His name would be James Burnley or Burnley James, not sure which I would like better. Honest opinions please! 😊

I don't care for it at all. Burnley made me think burly (which could lead to teasing if he happens to have a stocky build), also burner (like a stoner). If you love it, definitely put it in the middle. James is a nice first name.
